Ghazipur fire: Delhi govt orders a probe, AAP blames EDMC

NEW DELHI: Delhi environment minister Gopal Rai on Monday ordered an inquiry into the fire incident at Ghazipur and asked Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) to submit a report in 24 hours. Despite repeated warnings, the civic bodies have failed to understand their duties, Rai alleged.

“This is not the first such instance of a fire at the landfill. The fire department’s teams have been sent to the spot to take control, but seeing the situation on hand, DPCC has been ordered to investigate the matter. Their report has been sought in 24 hours. Based on the report, strictest action would be taken to deter such instances. In the past too, such instances have pointed towards the carelessness of the corporation,” the minister said.
